    harlequino: " A number of years ago I friend to a friend's experimental music concert. Being a fan of many things avant garde I had no real expectations. But I hated it. Really hated it. He asked me later what i thought, and I was honest. Instead of being bummed out, he actually beamed at me and said "I'm so happy you had a strong reaction." That always stuck with me.

    What I actually think about Mr. Davis' work is irrelevant. Almost as irrelevant as my own work so far in life. But hot damn I am endlessly impressed by someone who finds something, anything, that somehow resonates with a larger population. How incredible that must feel. It must feel that way becasue every time i see someone who has acheived that level of recognition for whatever reason, and no matter what I think of it, I still mutter "motherfucker" under my breath. As I am sure most everyone else does. Jealousy makes no exceptions for taste.
    I'll take getting trounced in an industry rag over a mild pat on the head from a client any day of the week. "

    Yes. You probably detect a hint of snobbery.

    You may as well have turned up at this thread with fucking drop shadow on your logo.

    Personally I don't see 'vernacular' design as being the opposite of 'serious' design. Vernacular design is essential to counter the global homogenised conclusion to rigorous design that would hope to impose a restrictive set of rules without exception, across the board.
    Good, well crafted vernacular style solutions are as important as good, well crafted 'serious' (modernist, uniform, communication and legibility led) design solutions. Serious design needs rich localised vernacular grit in the mix to stop everything becoming a single bland paste of efficient but monotonous visual slurry. The world is not a modern european international airport.

    2 horp's in one day:
    --------------

    Exactly like MP3's.
    Photography in books though... books can be any size, they can be vast and dramatic, they can be produced using specialised processes, stochastic screens at ultra high definition, with images seperated hexachromatically and printed with high fidelity inks, and with spot colours, spot varnishes, under prints, overprints, underpants and overalls, on smooth or glossy, thick and lustrous or thin and ephemeral stocks... there's a whole multi-dimensional universe of possibility with printing photographs in books.
    Computer screens? default is the optimim. 800x600. thousands of dithered squares, a mosaic of crude colours hinting at the object they represent.

    My wife and I have more or less proven that IKEA whenever we are fighting partners. IKEA, always studied as a reference for flow control and many other retail metric measure ... maybe also these fights. If not, here i present several moments of truth may be triggers for a good fight.

    1 - The moment "does not fall. " "Yes, honey. It says here that this room is 13 square meters, like ours, but this is bigger. " "Well, I need a wall and therefore not overwhelming, I do not know.!". And is mounted ...

    2 - If you don't move it as a bed of 1.50 would suffice. Often lead to major issues "Well, you like me to move at times." And is mounted ...

    3 - i Don't give one more step. It is when one partner is dropped into a chair or sofa and says: "! Get clear!, Do what you want me to wait here." And what do you want more ... "

    4 - Tell your mother not to opine or back by bus. And is mounted ...

    5 - Who am I use the kitchen, so let me decide. From there it moves quickly to the issue of roles and who does what at home. And you mess ...

    6 - How and where I put that? That is when only one of two gives the modern frenzy will give a fresh feel like home. And is mounted on a good taste of each.

    7 - out there, which is a shortcut. Very careful with this. It's like the box "bridge to bridge and shot because the current takes me, you can go forward but also backward. And your hair falls out.

    8 - Play with the car or hit the heel to the spouse for the third time. Really dangerous and painful. "Sorry, sorry, sorry!".

    9 - You're going to hear. "Look at those curtains are taking, how it should be his home. Look at the pants he wears, does not surprise me. "

    10 - "Let me I can", that usually ends with the fall uproar GINKLF to lead on the car from the shelf. "I had warned." "! And you only had to hold the car!". And reassembling ...

    11 - In the box: we had to put us in that row, we had to put us in that row, we had to put us in that row. The couple with curtains have gone out and will buy all the cookies.

    12 - "There can be no 2." In the parking lot when the JRANFKL, as I said the other party, there is no joke and strength or pride. You're willing to drive with his nose close to the glass, you load the seat trim, skip the ashtray side and desist, and without strength, you drop in the foot by supporting her in the ground. "! See, that heel so soon!"

    13 - (At home) on parts! These horny guys were wrong. (No way. Only one case is known in history, in Oslo, where a small table had plenty of one of the plastic you put under the legs to avoid scratching the floor, and IKEA furnished their whole house for free almost, half Oslo). Better to start again, then don't cry when your wardrobe is falling apart.

    So I started T-shirt of the Day (the one with the capital "D" in Day) because I have been designing T-shirts in the apparel industry for 12 years.

    This lame guy Miguex comes up with a copy thread and says he's the real deal.

    He is lame!

    "I met my wife on eHarmony and we have a baby on the way in november. It was the best $40 I've ever spent.
    The only advise I would give is dont play any games, if you are on a service like eHarmony most likely you both are tired of the typical bs and just want to meet someone real."
